Air Bags with DJM Tubular Lowers

Has anybody installed an air bag system with DJM 3" LCA's? If so, any modifications needed? Also, are there any rack & pinion kits available without changing the crossmember? This site is the best source of information on the net, (for our trucks) so I'll ask the members for their input. Thanks in advance for any info submitted.

you probably have to plate the lowers and then drill a hole to center and mount the bag. you should ask in the suspension section.

I have done it. I completely cut off the lower buckets and just put a flat plate across it. If I had it to do over again I would probably put a litle bit of an angle on it for better bag alignment at lower ride heights, but I have had zero issues with my set up.
